Da Vinci Code On Set Pics!!

Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon. Nice.

The Da Vinci Code is nigh. Christ is coming. After the critical and commercial success of A Beautiful Mind, it seemed like Ron Howard was pegged for another commercial and critical tour-de-force for his take on Dan Brown's The Da Vinci code. However, fate was not very good to his last effort The Cinderella Man, which, despite rave reviews still bombed at the box office because some marketing geniuses decided to release it (it was, indeed overdue) in the summer along with the the action and special effects blockbusters. I don't think it will dampen The Da Vinci Code's chances for greatness though. It looks promising being in the hands of Howard and screenwriter Akiva Goldsmith.
